Janine Tugonon to Stay in US for Good


Source: www.abs-cbnnews.com

Almost a year after her reign as the Miss Universe 2012 first runner-up, Janine Tugonon will soon leave for the United States and stay there for good.

“I’m going to the States in September. I’m studying there. Babalik pa naman ako every now and then for some events and for some contracts that I have here. But, yes, I’m moving there for good,” she said in an interview with “The Buzz” on Sunday.

The beauty queen said she wants to oursue her dream, especially now that it is within her reach.

“Kasi ever since I really wanted to study abroad. This time, there’s an opportunity na talaga and I can study na talaga. I want to,” she said.

Meanwhile, Tugonon denied reports that she is in a relationship with actor Benjamin Alves after they have been spotted together numerous times in public.

Tugonon maintained she and Alves are just friends and there is nothing romantic going on between them.

“Hindi ko po siya boyfriend. We are not even dating. People saw us at Cinemalaya and they said it was a date. I was with Jonas (Gauffud, her manager) and Cheska (a friend) that night. It was the four of us. Benjamin is a very good friend of mine. We go to the same church. We eat after church with our other friends,” she said.

In a separate interview, the 24-year-old actor, in a report published on the entertainment news site Philippine Entertainment Portal, said he is currently "going out" with the beauty queen.

"I say we go out, wala namang masama doon porke't artista kami," said Alves. "Para namang big deal kung lumabas kaming dalawa. If we were 15 [years old], then that could be a big deal. We're of age naman na."

Both Tugonon and Alves are under the management of the talent agency Mercator.

Tugonon maintained that she does not have a love life as of the moment.

Breakup with Jaypee

In the same interview on "The Buzz," the beauty queen also addressed questions concerning her previous relationship with Jaypee Santos.

Tugonon made headlines last April when she broke up with Santos and admitted on national television that she got attracted with The Script vocalist Danny O'Donoghue.

“I kept quiet during that time. There’s nothing I can say that can actually change what people think kasi it’s already set in their mind. Parang ako, I think it’s better na tumahimik muna,” she said.

Tugonon said she waited for the right time to finally explain what happened.

“I think I was misunderstood. Parang iba 'yung na-perceive nung tao, [that I dumped Jaypee without mercy]. There’s a bigger story behind that breakup,” she said. “I want to keep it private as much as possible but hindi lang 'yung The Script issue. It’s more than that. [The breakup] was a mutual decision.”

“I admit I was at fault because of what happened. The ‘Kris TV’ interview, it was my fault. But the breakup, kaming dalawa ang involved doon eh. May dahilan pa. Before the concert, before everything popped out, hindi lang iyon ang story,” she added.

Tugonon, however, admitted that O'Donoghue was indeed one of the reasons why they called it quits.

“Of course, I admit I got attracted. I said that on ‘Kris TV.’ Who wouldn’t? I love the band, I love their music a lot. I got attracted. Yes, nagselos [si Jaypee]. I think one of the reasons (iyon) but hindi iyon ang main reason,” she said.

Tugonon also emphasized that O’Donoghue did not court her.

“Natawa ako sa issue na we are dating. Unang una, how can it happen, he’s in the other side of the world? I think we just talked. Of course, I admit I got attracted. But no, [hindi nanligaw],” she said.

    5. It's funny how pinoys criticize spellings and grammar of other Filipinos. English is not our first language. It used to annoy me, but after living in the US for 15 years, parang walang paki nalang. A lot of my professional co-workers can't even spell. They were born and raised in the US. Imagine that.

      Delete
    6. ^ True! Same here in Canada. I used to fuss about my grammar when I first got here, but now, not anymore. Pinoys are the only ones who are so concerned about grammar. Here, as long as people can understand you, it doesn't really matter. It's just like talking in broken Tagalog.

    7. ...its because people like that cant find anything else better to do. hahahaha!

    8. Walang masama kung particular sila sa grammar nila. Ang pangit namang pakinggan ang maling grammar and kung may pinagaralan ka bakit hindi mo gamitin ang tamang grammar. And yes ako matagal na rin ako sa US pero particular pa rin ako sa grammar ko. My co workers don't know how to spell etc etc but that does not give me an excuse to misspell words and use sentences incorrectly.

  25. She decided to have this interview na kesyo aalis ng bansa to study or migrate to lessen the negative image brought about by her lovelife. The truth is she wanted to join showbizness or try it even for a short time.

    ReplyDelete
  26. During the interview, she was too quick to talk about the "controversy" she was in (napasigaw ako ng "ay, kape!" talaga! Promise!) pero that wasn't the question thrown at her naman but about her reign as BB Pilipinas Universe.

    Oo nga, she was the toast of the town when she won 1st runner up sa Miss Universe. Yun nga lang, she didn't do a good job in making herself relevant afterwards. Siguro kasi hindi nya naging intensyon to be a public figure (unlike let's say si Venus Raj who went on to host UKG and did TV adverts) kaya para saan itong interview? Di ko gets... baka etchos lang yung pupunta sya ng US tapos after a few months, uuwi na lang sya rito kunwari it didn't work out tapos the next thing we know, sya na ang bagong bida kontrabida eklavu ng ABS-CBN? From US to Pinas ang peg parang si KC?
